Despite the urgent need for a paradigm shift, the construction industry often lags behind this change. Switzerland is facing the challenge of creating a more sustainable construction industry, with building material reuse playing a crucial role. The common practice of demolition and new construction leads to resource wastage and exacerbates the climate crisis.
